I Forge Iron

Damascus/pattern weld texture

Recommended Posts

I purchased a blade many years ago from a bladesmith in Henrietta Tx.  It was sold to me as being Damascus. When I got it, it was not smooth at all, but rough textured. Almost as if the softer steel was eaten away by the etch, leaving only the hard steel.  What I see in photographs seems to be smooth and only different colors.

Actually the lower carbon steel etches more deeply so I'm not sure what the lighter color metal(?) is. both appear to have a pretty glitteryness to them though. Want help making up a story about how hard it was to make and just how magical it is? 

Thanks Dale, you save  me from buying a $24.99 damascus knife, I won't be tempted now. :)

Any other unbelievable bad products or ads you've seen or been sucked into buying?
